CF9 Install --> 500 on Administrator

After reviewing the logs, I have an odd issue that I am stumped on.

Clean JRE and clean CF install on laptop

xp pro, IIS 5.1, Coldfusion 9 developer edition

Installs great, all IIS settings added .cfm, cfc, cfr, cfml, etc installed in IIS mappings.

Default Docs added index.cfm

Done this many many times on many other computers without a problem, but today on this computer, I get a 500 error when attempting to open administrator.

Logs all look fine too (server.log below).

What am I mssing? Any suggestions?

serverlog snippet:

Stop ColdFusion. Copy all the contents of c:\coldfusion9\wwwroot\ to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\. Restart ColdFusion. Browse to http://localhost:80/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

well, got beyond the error, but cf admin won't recognize the .cfm files even though they are set up in IIS properly.

I did look at coldfusion9\runtime\bin\jrun.exe and the jrun launcher is running. It sees the coldfusion, and admin processes running.

i am forgetting something very basic and I am having a complete brain dump over it --

Hi Tami,

What about run:
Web Server Configuration Tool
AKA CF\runtime\bin\wsconfig.exe

Any configured web servers?

HTH, Carl.

@Carl,

Yep, I can see the server running fine :| I checked that earlier.
